Re: Lettuce

Pibikay,
Your wife may be restricted from fresh fruits and vegetables if her white blood cell count is too low. The fear is that uncooked fruits and vegetables my harbor bacteria that can be harmful to someone with a very compromised immune system. If this is the case, she should be able to resume eating fresh fruits and vegetables once her white blood cell count reaches a more normal level. Elaine's recommendation to cook/stir-fry vegetables is a good one. Your wife can continue to enjoy cooked vegetables during this time.
